Swedish Expressionism

Swedish Expressionism is an art movement from early 20th-century Sweden that emphasizes emotional experience over realistic representation. Artists used bold colors, dramatic compositions, and distorted forms to express inner feelings, societal issues, and existential concerns. Influenced by broader European Expressionism, Swedish artists sought to convey raw emotion and social critique, often reflecting a sense of tension and unease. The movement is characterized by its vivid visual language and a desire to evoke empathy and understanding of the human condition, making it a powerful means of artistic expression rooted in personal and societal introspection.
